|

.Sh DESCRIPTION
|
|
|
|
|
The
|
|
|
|
|
.Fn DECLARE_MODULE
|
|
|
|
|
macro declares a generic kernel module.
|
|
|
|
|
It is used to register the module with the system, using the
|
|
|
|
|
.Fn SYSINIT
|
|
|
|
|
macro.
|
|
|
|
|
.Fn DECLARE_MODULE
|
|
|
|
|
is usually used within other macros, such as
|
|
|
|
|
.Xr DRIVER_MODULE 9 ,
|
2001-03-11 16:52:17 +00:00
|
|
|
.Xr DEV_MODULE 9
|
2001-03-09 14:11:56 +00:00
|
|
|
and
|
|
|
|
|
.Xr SYSCALL_MODULE 9 .
|
|
|
|
|
However, it can be called directly of course, for example in
|
|
|
|
|
order to implement dynamic sysctls.
|
|
|
|
|
.Pp
|
|
|
|
|
The arguments to
|
|
|
|
|
.Fn DECLARE_MODULE :
|
|
|
|
|
.Pp
|
|
|
|
|
.Fa name
|
|
|
|
|
is the name of the module, which will be used in the
|
|
|
|
|
.Fn SYSINIT
|
|
|
|
|
call to identify the module.
|
|
|
|
|
.Pp
|
|
|
|
|
.Fa data
|
|
|
|
|
is a pointer to the
|
|
|
|
|
.Vt moduledata_t
|
|
|
|
|
structure, which contains two main items, the official name of the
|
|
|
|
|
module name, which will be used in the
|
|
|
|
|
.Vt module_t
|
|
|
|
|
structure and a pointer to the event handler function of type
|
|
|
|
|
.Vt modeventhand_t .
|
|
|
|
|
.Pp
|
|
|
|
|
.Fa sub
|
|
|
|
|
is an argument directed to the
|
|
|
|
|
.Fn SYSINIT
|
|
|
|
|
macro.
|
|
|
|
|
Valid values for this are contained in the
|
|
|
|
|
.Vt sysstem_sub_id
|
|
|
|
|
enumeration
|
|
|
|
|
(see
|
|
|
|
|
.Pa kernel.h )
|
|
|
|
|
and specify the type of system startup interfaces.
|
|
|
|
|
The
|
|
|
|
|
.Xr DRIVER_MODULE 9
|
|
|
|
|
macro uses a value of
|
|
|
|
|
.Dv SI_SUB_DRIVERS
|
|
|
|
|
here for example, since these modules contain a driver for a device.
|
|
|
|
|
For kernel modules that are loaded at runtime, a value of
|
|
|
|
|
.Dv SI_SUB_EXEC
|
|
|
|
|
is common.
|
|
|
|
|
.Pp
|
|
|
|
|
The
|
|
|
|
|
.Fa order
|
|
|
|
|
value is another argument for
|
|
|
|
|
.Fn SYSINIT .
|
|
|
|
|
It represents the KLDs order of initialization within the subsystem.
|
|
|
|
|
Valid values are defined in the
|
|
|
|
|
.Vt sysinit_elem_order
|
|
|
|
|
enumeration
|
|
|
|
|
.Pa ( kernel.h ) .
